16 -- ENGINE ANALYZER UNITS FOR E-2C AIRCRAFT SOL N00019-95-C-0058 DUE 123195 POC Contact, Mark Schrader, Phone (703)604-6100 The Naval Air Systems Command intends to contract with Allison Engine Company for the upgrade and production of Version 6.1 EAUs (Engine Analyzer Units) which will monitor T56-A-427 engine performance parameters for the E-2C aircraft. Allison Engine Company originally designed the EAU as a part of the T56-A-427 engine development program. Several of the major components of the current EAU (version 4.1) have either gone out of production or are in the process of being phased out by their suppliers. Hence it is no longer possible to produce the current version 4.2 EAU, as designed. The performance specification that the new EAUs will be measured against is an Allison specification, an update to the one used in the original T56-A-427 development program. The redesign of the EAU will result in a requalification effort, and only Allison has the technical knowledge to evaluate whether or not the new EAU's engine monitoring performance meets the specified criteria. Therefore, Allison is the only source capable of developing, qualifying and manufacturing the EAU consistent with U.S. Navy requirements. For subcontracting opportunities contact Mr. Jack Curran (Alliosn Engine Company) at (317) 230-4343. See note No. 22 - NAVAIR Synopsis No. 20187-95. (0347)
